June 30, six months of 2017 are gone at mid-night. Is it just me? Does anyone else feel that this year is almost an oxymoron? It feels like the longest year ever, yet six months have disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Blue skies made an appearance this afternoon after floods this morning. Our county made the tv news in Birmingham because of our floods. Thank goodness we live on top of one of the foothills.
We still have ponds in our garden. Our tomato crop has been so wonderful, but all this rain will soon destroy it. So it goes.

I talk about the weather often, but I do because it is such a great teacher. It is constantly undergoing transformations here in Alabama and you can't control it. We humans love to be in control of all things and the weather laughs at us. She can be a cruel teacher but also one filled with beauty.

Rick is attending a writer's seminar this weekend. It has been strange being alone this afternoon, but my house cleaning has been full speed.

I hope this holiday weekend gives you time to do the things you love with the people you love most.
Celebrate America's birthday and remember even with all her warts, there are so many good things about her. Also, to my Canadian friends Happy 150th Birthday! Enjoy your celebrations no matter where you are, stay safe and spread the kindness.
